Khristine,
A Yorkie/Pom mix. What a coat that one's gonna have. Just gorgeous! There are a few options to explore here: Puppy Dermatitis. This is caused by "malnutrition, worms, or some sort of internal infection," as quoted in one of my manuals. Another possibility: Dermatitis. Dermatitis comes in many different forms. He could be allergic to any number of things, such as: pollens, carpet fiber, colognes, etc... There really is nothing you can do about this because you may never figure out the culprit. But, make sure you always give him a weekly bath in Flea Shampoo. When a dog has Dermatitis, a flea is his worst enemy. The saliva irritates the allergy further.
After the baths, spray a leave in conditioner on the coat. Massage it in. You can make your own spray on conditioner by buying some conditioner from the Pet Store and mixing 3 parts water and 1 part conditioner in a spray bottle. Mix well and spray. Don't use flea collars. Sometimes, they only irritate the skin. I hope this all helps!!
